Metrorail

- SafeTrack single tracking on the Blue and Yellow lines will remain in effect.
- SafeTrack shuttle buses between Franconia-Springfield and Pentagon will operate Wednesday.
- Customers are encouraged to sign up for MetroAlerts to receive updates via email or text message.
Metrobus
- As of 5 a.m., Metrobus is operating regular weekday service.
- Adjustments and delays may be possible on isolated routes if road conditions warrant. Allow additional travel time. Check wmata.com before traveling.
- School trips provided by Metrobus to/from DC Public Schools will operate as scheduled.
- Customers are encouraged to sign up for MetroAlerts to receive updates via email or text message.
MetroAccess
- As of Wednesday morning, MetroAccess service has been restored.
- The MetroAccess reservations call center has reopened to assist customers with scheduling trips for future dates. Reservation agents are available seven days a week between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
- Due to the nature of MetroAccess service, where vehicles often travel on secondary or tertiary streets, customers may experience lengthier trip times due to road conditions. In some cases, "door-to-door" service may be unavailable where driveways or sidewalks have not been cleared of snow and ice. In such cases, the driver will provide "curb-to-curb service" instead.
- Customers with subscription trips reserved for Wednesday
who would prefer not to travel are encouraged to call the MetroAccess call
center to cancel as soon as possible.
